Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Warm water
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 2.5 cups Bread flour
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.75 cups 9-grain cereal mix
- 0.5 cups Rolled oats
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 0.25 cups Milk (warm)
- 0.25 cups Sunflower seeds (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Flaxseeds (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, honey, and active dry yeast. Let the mixture rest for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Add the bread flour, whole wheat flour, 9-grain cereal mix, rolled oats, salt, vegetable oil, and warm milk to the bowl. Stir to combine into a shaggy dough.
If using, stir in sunflower seeds and flaxseeds for extra texture and flavor.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Form the dough into a ball and place it into a lightly oiled bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until the dough doubles in size.
Punch down the dough to release air. Shape it into a loaf and transfer it to a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Cover the pan with the kitchen towel and let the dough rise again for about 30 minutes, or until it rises just above the edge of the loaf pan.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
